hm, it didnt work out. Below are the merged up commits against
tip/master, but they cause this build failure:
kernel/tracepoint.c: In function âtracepoint_probe_unregisterâ:
kernel/tracepoint.c:380: error: label âendâ used but not defined
could you please resend against tip/master:

Thanks,

commit 57bc8ea87d534303374932191273bdd3f3c37d09

tracepoint: introduce *_noupdate APIs.
Impact: add new tracepoint APIs to allow the batched registration of probes
new APIs separate tracepoint_probe_register(),
tracepoint_probe_unregister() into 2 steps. The first step of them
is just update tracepoint_entry, not connect or disconnect.
this patch introduces tracepoint_probe_update_all() for update all.
these APIs are very useful for registering lots of probes
but just updating once. Another very important thing is that
*_noupdate APIs do not require module_mutex.

tracepoint: simplification for tracepoints using RCU
Impact: simplify implementation
Now, unused memory is handled by struct tp_probes.
old code use these three field to handle unused memory.
struct tracepoint_entry {
...
struct rcu_head rcu;
void *oldptr;
unsigned char rcu_pending:1;
...
};
in this way, unused memory is handled by struct tracepoint_entry.
it bring reenter bug(it was fixed) and tracepoint.c is filled
full of ".*rcu.*" code statements. this patch removes all these.
and:
rcu_barrier_sched() is removed.
Do not need regain tracepoints_mutex after tracepoint_update_probes()
several little cleanup.
